Showing up for yourself is the first step. Over the weekend, we hosted a blockchain hackathon exclusively for women, and we were truly impressed by the range of projects presented. The participants were eager and determined to deepen their understanding of blockchain technology and explore how it can be leveraged to address social issues and enhance entrepreneurship. A key highlight from the event was the panel discussion, which emphasized the importance of putting yourself out there. "Putting yourself out there is the surest way to tap into opportunities." For the hackathon the judges emphasizeed on he need to build solutions with a global community in mind, as this approach not only refines the solution but also elevates its quality to international standards. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our partners who contributed to making the hackathon a success. Asanteni sana. #empoweredwomenempowerwomen ICP Hub Kenya,Yvonne Kagondu,
